What dangers this | change implies for the neutrals can hardly be foreseen. “On the blockade the admiral is ready to go to the verge of rupture with neutrals. He has particularly insisted that the British navy ought to open an offensive and not hesitate to search out and annihilate the en- emy. “The former British plan was to risk the British navy in no circum- stances, The German navy being en- circled in home ports was thus sup- i posed to be inefficient, while the forced idleness of German merchant ships would consummate the downfall of Germany. As to the German sub- marine warfare, England expected to master this problem by diplomatic in- fluence on the neutrals. At the same time the possibility admitted that the German navy an act of despair’ might search out the hiding place of the British navy in the high North sea, but there it would fight under the most unfa- vorable strategic circumstances.

Also, the British plan to fight our submarines by the aid of neutrals failed. “Recent utterances of the British government in parliament show that all British merchantmen as quickly as possible and order them to open a deadly fire against submarines on sight, “These ships shall be armed more completely than before, not only with one cannon, but also with cannon on the forecastle and at the sides, which make them prepared for attack.’ NOT RAE’S OLIVER Tanzer Girl Declares Charles H.
